GeneratePress for a webcomic?

    I’m trying to get the Comic Easel plugin to work with GeneratePress, but there’s virtually no documentation for Comic Easel, so that’s going… poorly.

    A more general question: Does it make sense to use GeneratePress for a webcomic or is it a poor fit? I really just need to display a comic, have <-back and forward-> buttons and have an ‘Archive’ section for now. I don’t want any text posts or anything. Is this doable with or without the Comic Easel plugin?

    Sorry for being so vague, but diving into php details for the last several hours is making my brain melt, so I wanted to step back and ask a really general question. Happy to pay for the premium version if that makes a difference on whether it would work.

    Hi there,

    I’m pretty confident that anything can be built in GP 🙂

    Do you have an example site I can check out?

    Hey, thanks for responding to my admittedly vague question. 🙂

    This isn’t my site, but it’s a good example, since it works well on both desktop and mobile: http://www.mrlovenstein.com/

    Ignore all the ads, I’m not looking to do that right now. I’m looking for the clean presentation of comic image along with the navigation. The header, footer, and side column I understand how to implement and know gp can do. The archive seems simple enough as well. But, I’m wondering if I’m going to be pulling my hair out trying to shoehorn a comic into the gp content area, whether I use the Comic Easel plugin or not.

    Honestly, it looks like you could just use posts along with the Next/Previous links at the bottom. You’d likely want to style those to be bigger/more noticeable, but we’re happy to help with CSS stuff like that 🙂
